How soon after a car accident should I see a chiropractor?
See an auto accident chiropractor within 72 hours of the crash. Adrenaline and inflammation can mask injuries like whiplash, soft tissue damage, and disc irritation in the first 24 to 48 hours. Early evaluation creates a clear medical record connected to the accident, helps prevent acute injuries from becoming chronic, and protects any insurance or personal injury claim you may file later.
